Re: [FreeDNS] Question..

["Adriaan Rossouw" <adriaanr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, i actually did quite a bit of groundwork on a project called WebDNS ..
i still have a lot to finish though .. but what makes it cool is, it can
administrate unlimited nameservers, and unlimited domains.. and it runs on
php+*sql, with a little daemon that just checks if the nameserver is
supposed to be getting any new domains.

I also intended putting in some basic virtual host things for apache, and
maybe even mail users in exim (love database access =)  ), but the 18-20
hour work thing
got the better of my good intentions.

Regards
  Adriaan
